Subject: [REQ]Light/dark toggle for terminal emacs
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2020 20:00:46 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <MWHPR13MB175805D8635CCB4A6FD4B410A32C0@MWHPR13MB1758.namprd13.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
I was using emacs -nw in a terminal the other day and noticed that only the tsdh-light theme was able to give me a light background/dark text out of all the themes in etc/themes. This was a freebsd terminal where the default term has limited colors, and tsdh-light was the only theme that didn't check for a minimum of 80 something colors. It wasn't great but it was much more readable, and faster than setting -fg or -bg on the command line.
I think it would be a good idea to have a menu option in terminal emacs at least to toggle light/dark for easy of editing. My vision is impaired and I work best with light terminals most of the time. Probably the Options menu before Multilingual Environment. Someone said (invert-face 'default) can do this but I don't expect a casual user on bsd or otherwise would know about this. Possibly a command line option like -light or -dark might also work.
